Synopsis

After having overcome Deacon Frost in the first shutter, Blade assistance a troop of vampires to eliminate a higher race from vampires, Reapers, which are caught some in turn with their fellow-members with the large teeth. They are carried out by Nomak, but Blade and its team of vampires (and human: Will Whistler and Scud) succeed in with all exterminating them?

History

Two years were passed since the end of first film, and Blade continues its hunting for the nozzles while tracking Abraham Whistler his/her adoptive father and mentor, left for died in first film. Actually this one survived and succumbed to the virus of the vampirism. Blade sought it through the Russia, and in Eastern Europe, enlisting with the passage an young man with the deplorable hygiene of life called Scud so him to design a new line of equipment and weapons. In the first scene of film, Blade fights with its tact infallible and stuffed " tact" besides a large band of vampires, while leaving one alive, This passage notes a key of humor present in medium and film end… Blade discovers after an unequal combat (it is too much strong for the vampires) his/her friend Whistler imprisoned in a regenerating matrix of blood by a gang of cruel Vampires which kept the old alive man in order to simply torture it. Blade delivers it and takes it along to Prague.

During this time, a crisis is in hand in the community vampire. The virus of the vampirism seems to have transferred in a new stock (the " reaper virus") who sweeps their rows, giving new frightening characteristics to his conveyers. The original conveyer of the virus seems to be Jared Nomak, a mysterious vampire with the strange intentions. This one is nourished above all the blood of the vampires before that of human because it is richer in hemoglobin. However, when it bites a victim, it directly transmits the virus via saliva in direct contact with the wound created by the bite. The Reapers vampires are stronger than the common vampires, not to say quasi invincible. They resist the serious wounds such as impacts of ball, blows of heavy objects and consolidate instantaneously broken or uncoupled members. Their organization is so wild that it continues to live beyond the death of the brain, as long as blood is still present in the arteries and the veins. The same if blood is done too rare, the organization consumes its own resources. Reapers have jaws trilateral, the jaw lower is split into two and lets appear the language which is given the responsability to pump the blood of the victims a such suction cup. Poisonous hooks allow the such snake to immobilize the victim during the bite. The vital bodies are insensitive with the blows, the shocks and even with the money or garlic, the only effective weapon remaining the good old men solar rays. In order to fight the virus, the vampire aîné/le suzerain Eli Damaskinos and its lawyer Carter Counan send their lackey Asad and Nyssa (which is the girl of Damaskinos) to find and make a market with Blade, proving to him that Reaper are the greatest evil and once they will have finished some with the population vampire, they will be caught some without surprised with humanity. Blade hates the vampires but however, an alliance proves neccessaire effectively in order to éradiquer the Reapers threat.

Thus, Blade makes team with Bloodpack, a group of mercenaries vampires originally formed in order to eliminate it. Wishing to keep an effective control on the group, Blade, caused by Reinhardt (played by Ron Perlman), one of the most primary members of the group, causes it in its turn and installs an explosive apparatus vaguely activated on its nape of the neck. Thus it proves that he does not joke absolutely. To the wire of Blade time binds closely with Nyssa, the girl of Damaskinos and member of Bloodpack.

Following a long tracking within a nightclub filled with vampires, the team delivers a new crucial combat against many Reapers in their hive located in the sewers, Blade is apprehended thereafter by the forces of Damaskinos, with Whistler and Scud. It is that, the contagion of Reapers is not at all a virus, but rather a genetic experiment which has turned out badly. In its efforts to create a vampire which can be driven at the great day, Damaskinos used of its own family in order to sit her thirst for success. Indeed the virus was originally used on Nomak, which is actually his/her son. Damaskinos reveals another horrible truth then - it created many of other prototypes of vampires, projecting the next stage of evolution of those. A very new line must be born through several hundreds of incubated fetuses. The experiment however required the recovery of the vital bodies of Blade in order to include/understand the mechanism immunizing it against the solar rays and to integrate it into the future experiments of cloning.

During its captivity, Blade tries to activate the explosive stuck to the nape of the neck of Reinhardt, but unfortunately Scud decontaminates it and proves to be a treaty on standby transformation into vampire. It is a human flunkey of Damaskinos (familiar). It hopes to bind to the vampires for their future rise in the diurnal world. However, Blade which is very changeable supervises everyone including his/her own friends and finds a means of killing the treaty which it had always more or less soupsonné. A combat is followed from there to naked hand or Blade regenerated by a blood bath destroys most of the personal guard of Damaskinos to finish by Reinhardt.

During this time, Nomak avenger entered the fortress of Damaskinos, seeking revenge on the father who mutilated it and transformed it into Reaper… First Reaper. Right before its escape, Damaskinos east betrays by his/her daughter Nyssa (it even feeling betrayed by handling of his/her father) and killed by Nomak. In the order of the “complement of the circle”, Nomak bites also Nyssa and leaves it, after which it will undergo an ultimate confrontation with Blade. After a very constant scene of combat physically, Blade finds the weaknesses in physical defenses of Nomak and blocks its sword in lower part of its arm, penetrating its heart on the side, jumping the protection of bone of its heart. Severely wounded, Nomak crawls with far and rests against a pillar. Having taken its revenge against its family, it decides to shorten its sufferings and commits suicide by pushing the sword broken in its heart. Thus disappears the Reaper threat and its principal carrier. However Blade attends impotent dead of its Nyssa close friend who does not wish transfomer in Reaper in his turn and prefers to die with dignity in the rising of the Sun.

The final scene of film is amusing because Blade finds a vampire of the beginning which it kills immediately whereas this one was on the point of giving pleasure in a cabin of streap tease Londonnien…
